It's finally here! Well, a tease of it is here. Today you can make your start in The Xiao Trials!
I think I've spoken about this before, but upon full release of The Series Test, there will be a new game mode included called The Xiao Trials. In this mode you will take control of Dr Alleyne herself as she tries to make it through her own test.
Now unlike Aer-dula's test, which is all player choice with the evictions, this new mode will be completely random and based off a random number generator. At the beginning of each phase the game will roll and random number and that phase the corresponding replica will malfunction magnificently! It's the Series Test but fully randomized!!
This mode is still a work in progress and the first proper draft with choices should be playable come phase 4 release, for now though? A tease!
Just released is the start of The Xiao Trials which introduces you to all the familiar characters plus one extra and let's you get a feel for Dr Alleyne's 'quirky' personality.
Because of Alleyne's lewd and crude personailty, this mode is a mix of Fantasy mode and regular mode.
Come on, how can you not love that face?! And now she's not giving away all her resources to keep her favourite Volunteer alive, she finally has some cheeks! Both kinds! So if you fancy hoping in a getting a grip on this new mode, you can try now. And if you have the time, let me know what you think in the discussions on the way this mode is going.... Basically, their personalities and conversations. Do you think they fit each persons persona?
Also, the town intro has been reworked!
it's never been a secret that I wasn't a huge fan on the way the town intro was rendered, (besides the huge memory problem it had. Png's.. Don't use em. Lesson learned.) But it was my first ever dip into rendering and building scenes and the rest. So I've jumped back to my roots and reworked the whole town intro. The script is basically the same, yet all the renders and movies have been re-done to be a lot smoother and crisper. Plus Aiko has a sweet Ooh-ahh dance going on now rather than the other one.
So if you fancy checking out The Xiao Trials, or the new intro, or maybe go back a look for a few true routes, (guide now in discussions.), now's a good time to revisit Series Shores, Volunteers!
Side note on this, I am still working on phase 4. There isn't any updates with the continuing phase in this update as the phases need to be uploaded as a whole and not in parts. More info on that as it comes. :)
